Pour some sugar on me

One of oldest and best friends lives in Vegas and she often invites me to concerts, but as someone who lives under a rock I rarely know who’s on tour. So I gave her the specs: find me a show… Continue Reading →

Tropical bar

Reflections are one of my favorite visuals — I love how they merge planes and bend reality. In this shot the bar is behind me, and the plant and casino floor are on the other side of the glass.

The easiest way to see the inside of Oakland’s Fox Theater is to grab a concert or a drink there because tours are not regularly offered. So of course I jumped at the chance to get inside this beauty with… Continue Reading →

Chasing waterfalls

Building on my trip to the forest, the next day I continued nature bathing at Montmorency Falls (aka Chutes de Montmorency) located on the eastern edge of Quebec City. This trip fell just before autumn colors, but I got a… Continue Reading →

Forest magic of Onhwa’ Lumina

It took me almost 20 years from the time I bought a travel book for Québec — so long ago guidebooks were still relevant — to setting foot in the province. But I made it! And while I’m not the… Continue Reading →

Finding the bright side of Vegas

To be honest, Las Vegas isn’t my kind of town. I’m not much into gambling, shopping, spas, or shows…and that leaves pretty much just food. Oh, and one of my oldest and best friends, who is the reason I occasionally… Continue Reading →
